Its not perfect by any means, as some parts seem to drag and at times the movie felt a bit too long for its own good, but on the whole it made for a nice viewing. I remember a decade or more ago when CGI movies were an event to behold. Each release was noteworthy. Movies like the original "Toy Story", "Finding Nemo", "Ice Age", "Monsters Inc." and the first "Shrek". To that veritable gallery I would venture to add the spectacularly underrated "Final Fantasy".

When I saw that movie back in 1999 (damn, I can't believe that was soo long ago...holly crap I'm getting old!), the potential of CGI movies was fully revealed. I thoroughly enjoyed the visionary creativity of that film, especially since it had a more mature, adult slant (something sorely lacking in CGI movies, especially in North America, where CGI movies seem to be exclusively aimed at a young audience). Since then technology has advanced by leaps and bounds and so have CGI movies. Now it seems that there is one of them coming out every other week. This has not necessarily translated into an all-around positive effect, because while their quantity has increased, their quality has steadily declined. Adding 3D effects and cutesy side-kicks cannot make up for the lack of having a compelling story, an interesting plot and well developed characters. This brings me back to "Puss-In-Boots". This movie has all that, a compelling story, a good message, funny characters and a lot of humour, including a healthy dose of those "in-jokes" intended for the adults in the audience, in most cases the parents who tag along with their kids to watch the movie.

That makes it a truly good family viewing because not only will the children have a good time, but there is plenty for the adults to enjoy too. "Puss-In-Boots" is the most entertaining CGI (animated) movie I've seen since "Despicable Me" and "Monsters Vs. Aliens". Not on par with the gem that was "UP", but a solid offering of funny! "We found a bag of catnip on you!" jail guard. "Its for my glaucoma!", Puss. Enough said... 19 of 24 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you?

Puss in Boots The movie poster for theaters General information Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves — Puss in Boots, (also known as Puss in Boots: The Story of an Ogre Killer, Puss in Boots: The Movie, Puss in Boots 3D, and Puss in Boots in 3D, is a 2011 spin-off film which serves as a midquel to Shrek and a prequel to Shrek 2 . It was released on October 28, 2011. Antonio Banderas will reprise his role as Puss in Boots . He is joined by new characters voiced by Salma Hayek , Zach Galifianakis , Billy Bob Thornton , Amy Sedaris , Zeus Mendoza , and Walt Dohrn (who plays the narrator), as well as a few more. Contents [ show ] Plot The story takes place before Puss ( Antonio Banderas ) met Shrek and Donkey , when he was a swashbuckling hero who protected the innocent. The film starts out with Puss escaping from a man who had had him in a cage.

He narrowly manages to get away and, after blowing kisses to the female cat he was leaving behind, he makes his way to a town. After being taunted and then gaining the respect of the thugs there, Puss learns that two murderous outlaws named Jack ( Billy Bob Thornton ) and Jill ( Amy Sedaris ) have the magic beans, which hold an ancient power that can destroy the world. When Puss tries to take them from the two outlaws, another cat with a mask interrupts and tries to get them as well. Both fail and escape, and Puss follows the cat back to a bunch of other cats, where they both have a dance fight and a sword fight, ending with Puss smacking him over the head with a guitar, which hurts the cat so much that he rips his mask off and reveals to a surprised Puss that he is in fact a woman.

Puss then meets Humpty Dumpty ( Zach Galifianakis ) who also introduces her as Kitty Softpaws ( Salma Hayek ), named because she can take things without anyone even noticing they are gone (as she does frequently with Puss's hat, boots, and money simply to tease him) and asks him to join them in finding the beans, planting them, and getting the golden eggs which lie at the top. Puss immediately refuses, and even after Kitty tries to woo him into going with them, he denies, and then tells her why. When he was a kitten, he was adopted in a home for orphans, where he met Humpty Dumpty. The two of them became "brothers" and loved to get into trouble by stealing things. After a bull is accidentally set free, Puss saves an old woman from it and becomes a hero, making Humpty feel left out. He tricks Puss into helping him steal the money from the town's bank, and Puss is forced to flee instead of going to jail as everyone believes he is no longer good.

They crash on the bridge, the money going over the side and into the river below, and Puss leaves Humpty to be arrested and jumps into the river, becoming an outlaw and ending the friendship between them. After Humpty, who had followed the two, explains to Puss that he wants a second chance, Puss agrees to help him find the beans / golden eggs, making it clear that he is doing it for the town and his mother who adopted him, not for Humpty. The three of them set off to find Jack and Jill, finally seeing them coming towards them, hiding in a canyon type place in the desert. Kitty jumps onto their cart which is pulled by warthogs, followed by Puss, while Humpty readies their getaway vehicle. Puss lowers Kitty into the back of the cart, who struggles to open the box the beans are held in (which is around Jack's hand), with Puss urging her to use her claws. She finally admits to him that she has no claws, which wakes up one of the baby pigs sleeping in the back.

Puss drops in beside her and opens the box with his claws as Kitty quiets the baby pig, giving him to Puss as she uses her paws to get the beans from Jack's hand, giving them to Puss. Just as they are about to leave, Puss accidentally backs up and steps on two pigs' tails, alerting Jack and Jill, who drop into the bottom where they are. They manage to get outside, jam the levers to force their seats to stay up, and tie up their heads, signaling Humpty to get their own cart, besides the one that they are on now. Kitty jumps onto the cart, but Jill headbutts Puss before he can, briefly knocking him out and causing him to drop the beans, which bounce around the top of the cart, almost falling off. Puss gets them back while fighting Jill, who somehow escaped, but she grabs him and dangles him over the edge of the cart and the canyon, about to drop him. Humpty rams the side of their cart and Puss lands back in their cart, and they get away. Kitty explains to Puss, as they are riding in the cart, that her adoptive owners got her claws removed for an unknown reason.

They make it to the perfect spot to plant them, being directed in the right way by Humpty, and plant the beans in a bare, sandy area, right as a storm cloud comes overhead, and a giant funnel of green-lit clouds and wind comes spinning down the place they planted the beans, cracking the sand, then suddenly disappearing, leaving only a small weed where the beans are buried. Kitty suggests Humpty talk to it, which he does, but barely gets a few words out before a giant beanstalk shoots up out of the ground, taking them with it, higher and higher into the clouds before it finally stops. The three got off and surprisingly are able to stand and walk on the clouds without difficulty, although their voices grow higher due to the thin air (their voices return to normal in the normal air pressure of the castle.) They see a castle type building and they enter it, not having to fear the giant, as Humpty says it's been dead for years; although, there is a beast in the castle, which if gazed upon, allegedly turns the gazer to stone. They cross the water far below and get to the island.

With only a small run-in with whatever the beast is, they find the golden eggs and a gosling that lays them. They take the gosling because the eggs are far too heavy and make it to the edge of the island before the rope they used to get across is broken, and they fall down into the canyon, the beast not far behind. As they are trying to get away, Kitty falls into the water, unable to pull herself back onto the branch due to her not having claws, but she is saved by Puss. They escape and get back down to the ground, cutting the beanstalk down and rejoicing over getting the golden goose. They briefly dance, and Humpty pulls Kitty aside to tell her to not lose focus, obviously talking about her falling in love with Puss. Kitty leaves to get rest, and Humpty and Puss lay outside with the goose. Puss tells Humpty he is glad to have his brother back, and Humpty goes to sleep with the goose lying on top of him. Meanwhile, Jack and Jill suddenly come up behind Puss and knock him out. When Puss awakens, he is lying in the desert surrounded by birds, which he shoos away.

He finds footprints and wagon tracks around him, and follows them to the town he was adopted in. He sees a shadow of Humpty being held by Jack and Jill, and he follows them to save him, only to find them laughing and celebrating. Humpty explains to him how the only thing he wanted against Puss was revenge, and everyone had been working for him, even Jack and Jill. Puss doesn't fight against arrest (told not to by his adoptive mother) and sees Kitty as he is being led away in a carrier, knowing she has betrayed him. While in jail, he finds the Jack who had the beans first in the same cell, and he tells Puss that the beast is in fact the gosling's mother and will destroy the town trying to get her baby back. Puss escapes using his adorably big eyes to practically hypnotize the guard, and Kitty comes back to do the rest. She helps Puss escape, and he goes to find Humpty. Puss tells him that the mother is going to come back for her baby, and Humpty finally agrees to help save the town.

They lead the mother goose to the bridge, which breaks under her weight, and Puss has to hold onto a rope that Humpty is holding onto to be sure he doesn't fall into the wreckage. The gosling was also caught by a rope, but it is breaking, and Humpty lets go of his rope, so Puss can save the baby to make sure the mother does not destroy the whole town. He does save her, and later finds Humpty has been turned into a golden egg, which the mother takes and flies back to the castle. Puss and Kitty get away from the guards still, and Kitty says she will see him again soon, showing that she has taken his boots. During the first half of the credits, it shows Humpty once again in his regular egg form riding the goose in the clouds, and Puss and Kitty (while dancing) finally kiss. Voice cast Frank Welker as Animals' vocal effects (uncredited) Production Puss in Boots has been in development since 2004, when Shrek 2 was released.

[1] As a Shrek 2 spin-off, it was originally planned for release in 2008 as a direct-to-video film, [2] but this was changed in 2006 in favor of a theatrical release. [3] Production on the film began after the release of 2010's Shrek Forever After . In early 2010, Antonio Banderas said in an interview that he had completed the first recordings of his character Puss in Boots . [4] The film was released in 3D. In late 2010, Guillermo del Toro signed on as executive producer. [5] Marketing The first teaser trailer was released on March 4, 2011 and was shown in front of Rango. This particular trailer features the song "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" by Pitbull. A full-length theatrical trailer was also shown in front of screenings of Kung Fu Panda 2, Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Lion of Judah, Cars 2, Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, Winnie the Pooh, and The Smurfs.

Trivia Originally, the movie was going to be released in 2012, but when Shrek 5 was scrapped, they pushed it back to 2011. The film was hinted at the end of Shrek Forever After . When Shrek returned the Shrek book back to the bookcase, a Puss in Boots book was next to it. Puss in Boots is Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek 's sixth film together (the first five being Desperado, Four Rooms, Frida, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico). Shrek, Donkey , and Princess Fiona were once rumored to return. Shrek and Fiona were also rumored to be voiced by John DiMaggio and Jennifer Aniston, but it wasn't true as this film is set long before Puss even met Shrek and the others.

Gallery Kitty cut: Puss in Boots renamed Cat in Boots in the United Arab Emirates | Film | The Guardian Kitty cut: Puss in Boots renamed Cat in Boots in the United Arab Emirates Synonym will fill original title's shoes amid fears that 'puss' may cause offence Say my name … Puss in Boots – rechristened 'Cat in Boots' for UAE audiences Friday 25 November 2011 07.21 EST First published on Friday 25 November 2011 07.21 EST Close This article is 5 years old Shrek spin-off Puss in Boots will be renamed "Cat in Boots" in the United Arab Emirates. The P-word was pulled from the title amid fears that a "Puss" could cause offence. Meanwhile, star Antonio Banderas, who voices the titular feline, was apparently asked not to refer to the original title or his character's name during promotional duties at the recent Doha Tribeca film festival . Puss in Boots, which premiered in the UK last night, topped the US chart on its release earlier this month and has creamed $178m from the global box office to date.

The film sees Puss – a Zorro-esque swashbuckler with a thirst for milk and adventure – team up with Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) and Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) in an attempt to steal golden-goose eggs from a giant's castle. The events of the film pre-date Puss's debut in DreamWorks Animation's fairytale franchise. He first appeared as an unlikely ally to lovable ogre Shrek in 2004's Shrek 2 . The change in title reflects edits made to previous films deemed to conflict with the UAE's moral values. Sex and nudity are taboo, as is any attempt to depict a holy power on screen. This resulted, according to Time Out Dubai , in a cut of Bruce Almighty – a comedy in which a man meets God and is granted omnipotence – notable for the complete absence of Morgan Freeman as the heavenly father. Similarly, Sex and the City was stripped of its sex scenes and subsequently never shown in the Middle East. It was rumoured that the popular franchise would have been renamed "Shoes and the City" had it been released. • This article was amended on 28 November 2011.

The original said incorrectly that the film was renamed at the request of the UAE film censorship board. The National Media Council made no objection to the original title. The article was also amended to make clear that any request to Antonio Banderas not to refer to the original title was made in Doha and not in the UAE. 'Puss in Boots': A fun feline fairy tale, critics say - latimes.com 'Puss in Boots': A fun feline fairy tale, critics say October 28, 2011 | 1:57 pm Spinning off from the popular "Shrek" films, the new animated tale "Puss in Boots" tells the story of how its feline title character, voiced by Antonio Banderas, first became a swashbuckling hero. With generally favorable reviews from movie critics and predictions that it will win the box office this weekend, "Puss in Boots" could turn out to be another franchise for DreamWorks.

The Times' Kenneth Turan says "Puss in Boots" is "a treat to experience visually (especially in lively 3-D) and verbally"; he goes on to call it "a family film where the adventure and invention never flag and the tongue-in-cheek humor doesn't linger far behind." Turan notes that the film draws plenty of inspiration from James Bond spy flicks, Sergio Leone westerns and most of all film noir: "Think of this Puss as being sired by Raymond Chandler with Mother Goose and you'll begin to get the idea." He adds, "Perhaps the most engaging thing about 'Puss in Boots' is that it never takes itself too seriously." Stephen Holden, of the New York Times, calls the film "a cheerfully chaotic jumble of fairy tale and nursery rhyme characters parachuted into a Spanish storybook setting." Holden finds the story lacking — "It is too complex and has too many changes of heart to be a smooth, coherent ride" — but commends the visuals. Holden writes, "The movie’s most remarkable feature is a spectacular use of 3-D that raises the bar for a mainstream animated film.

Avoiding the usual stereoscopic cliches, 'Puss in Boots' often looks multidimensional, especially its action sequences. " In the Washington Post, Michael O'Sullivan says the film "is almost shockingly good . And not just because a lot of you will approach it with lowered expectations." O'Sullivan appreciates the filmmakers' taking the story in a different direction than the "Shrek" series and applauds the voice talent, which also includes Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis and Billy Bob Thornton. "There's no stunt casting, just good, solid performances, even down to the bit parts," he writes. O'Sullivan's only quibble is that the film's humor occasionally ventures too far into grown-up territory. USA Today film critic Claudia Puig deems "Puss in Boots" a "lively romp [that] is well-acted, cleverly written and vividly rendered, despite an over-the-top finale." In particular, Puig digs Banderas' "impeccable comic timing and lyrical Spanish accent." Not every critic left the theater a cat fancier, however. Tasha Robinson, writing for the Onion's A.V.

Club, concedes that the film "does 3-D right," with dynamic camerawork and perspectives, but laments that the plot and characters don't measure up: "Even for a 'Shrek' spin-off, 'Puss in Boots' is mighty thin gruel, based more in outsized emotion than actual narrative."

By Shawn Kovacich on October 29, 2011 Format: DVD I just got back from watching this movie in the theater and let me tell you that it was utterly fantastic from start to finish.

The sheer genius of the people who put this story together is deserving of all the accolades that could be bestowed upon them. The story was utterly impeccable and the combination of the the old fairy tales, the Shrek films, and most importantly the behaviors of all our beloved pet cats are interwoven seamlessly into this story. I couldn't believe all the ways that they found to make this movie so memorably funny and endearing to the audience (and especially us cat lovers) that it was a really fun movie to see. Now if you are familiar with your childhood fairy-tales, the basic premise of the movie is that Puss (in Boots) along with Humpty Alexander Dumpty, and Ms. Kitty South-Paws start an adventurous trek to obtain some magic beans in order to provide access to the goose that lays the golden eggs. And yes, there just may be a beanstalk involved. I really can't tell you any details about this movie without risking spoiling a scene or two, but I will let you know that Humpty Alexander Dumpty, voiced by The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis, is a pivotal character in this movie along with Jack and Jill.

Although I think you may find yourself quite surprised by the movie version of these two compared to their pail of water exploits from the fairy tales. Another new character is Ms. Kitty Soft-Paws voiced by the beautiful Salma Hayek, who by the way does an outstanding job as Puss' love interest/nemesis. Now I am not going to post any spoilers, but I will tell you that I found one particular scene so funny that it is my most cherished moment in the movie and it involves a shot-glass full of milk in the first bar scene. And that is all I am going to say about that, but be sure and look for it. Perhaps you will even think it was as funny as I did. This is a totally awesome movie for kids of all ages, including us bigger kids. Definitely take the kids to see this movie and make sure they stay quiet as you won't want to miss any of the great lines. Shawn Kovacich By Robert G. Splaine Jr. on October 30, 2011 Format: DVD An infamous cat befriends a female, and meets up with an old friend, an egg, sort a Humpty Dumpty.

Together, they try to steal a goose who lays golden eggs, for reasons of enrichment, revenge or redemption. The Puss in Boots character is funny and very likeable. This is standard animated fare, but the animation is excellent, and the film is clever, funny and will be fun for the whole family to watch. This one does not rank with the terrific animated movies of recent years, but is certainly one that you should take the kids to see, as everyone will enjoy it. By Matthew Schwarz on December 10, 2011 Format: DVD This movie is a fun mix of various fairy tale references and the Zorre-esque Puss In Boots character from the Shrek films. We basically get here the origins of the Puss character and an early adventure of his. It has the general fun and atmosphere of the Shrek movies while having its own identity - it's full of lots of humor, but with a good adventure story to keep the plot moving. There are several things that this movie could've totally blown but got spot-on right.

The creators made the right move in focusing on one character from the Shrek movies in his own feature, and they definitely made the right choice of characters - Puss is likeable and amusing and has enough substance to pull of the lead role. As a music lover, I was particularly pleased with the flamenco-ish soundtrack (featuring Rodrigo & Gabriela) that added to the overal cultural flavor, as opposed to the modern pop music of Shrek. Similarly, the "Zorro" similarities with the title character was matched with a Mexican setting and appropriate accents (except by the annoying American accent of Humpty Dumpty, which dind't fit in at all, and I don't remember any explanation in the movie of why someone raised from a small child in an orphanage would not have the same accent as those he grew up around). The movie didn't try to fit in innapropriate references to characters that didn't belong (as in, for example, "Muppet Babies", where a bunch of characters we'd seen meet for the first time as adults are now seen hanging out as children).

So, you won't see Shrek or Donkey, but Puss does just fine on his own (and the movie maybe flows a little better without the increasingly over-the-top slapstick of the later Shrek films). In fact, this movie definitely has a different feel than Shrek, with a little less of a focus on mixing modern pop-culture references with a fantasy setting, although those elements are still there. Definitely worth watching and I hope it spawns a series of films of its own. Puss in Boots (film) | Dreamworks Animation Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Puss in Boots (film) Budget $130 million Puss in Boots (also known as Puss in Boots: Story of an Ogre Killer or Puss in Boots 3D) is a 2011 American computer-animated action comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation, directed by Chris Miller (who direct Shrek the Third in 2007), executive producer Guillermo del Toro, and written by Brian Lynch, with screenplay by Tom Wheeler. It stars Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Zach Galifianakis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Amy Sedaris.

The film was released in theaters on October 28, 2011 in Digital 3D and IMAX 3D. Although the character of Puss in Boots originated in a European fairy tale in 1697, the film is a spin-off prequel to the Shrek franchise. It follows the character Puss in Boots on his first adventure before his first appearance in Shrek 2 in 2004. Accompanied by his friends, Humpty Dumpty and Kitty Softpaws, Puss is pitted against Jack and Jill, two murderous outlaws in ownership of legendary magical beans which lead to great fortune. Puss in Boots opened to generally positive reviews and became a sucess at the box office with a gross of $554 million. It was also nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 84th Academy Awards. A television series, titled The Adventures of Puss in Boots , premiered on Netflix , in 2015. A sequel titled, Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves , was scheduled to be released in 2018, but it was removed from the schedule in early 2015.

Contents [ show ] Plot The story takes place before Puss ( Antonio Banderas ) met Shrek and Donkey, when he was a swashbuckling hero who protected the innocent. The film starts out with Puss escaping from a man who had had him in a cage. He narrowly manages to get away and, after blowing kisses to the female cat he was leaving behind, he makes his way to a town. After being taunted and then gaining the respect of the thugs there, Puss learns that two murderous outlaws, Jack ( Billy Bob Thornton ) and Jill ( Amy Sedaris ) have the magic beans, which hold an ancient power that can destroy the world. When Puss tries to take them from the two outlaws, another cat with a mask interrupts and tries to get them as well. Both fail and escape, and Puss follows the cat back to a bunch of other cats, where they both have a dance fight and a sword fight, ending with Puss smacking her over the head with a guitar, which upsets the cat so much that she rips her mask off and reveals to a surprised Puss that she is in fact a woman.

Puss then meets his adoptive brother Humpty Dumpty ( Zach Galifianakis ), who also introduces her as Kitty Softpaws ( Salma Hayek ), named because she can take things without anyone even noticing they are gone (as she does frequently with Puss's hat, boots, and money simply to tease him) and asks him to join them in finding the beans, planting them, and getting the golden eggs which lie at the top. Puss immediately refuses, and even after Kitty tries to woo him into going with them, he denies, and then tells her why. When he was a kitten, he was adopted in a home for orphans, where he met Humpty Dumpty. The two of them became "brothers" and loved to get into trouble by stealing things. After a bull is accidentally set free, Puss saves an old woman from it and becomes a hero, making Humpty feel left out. He tricks Puss into helping him steal the money from the town's bank, and Puss is forced to flee instead of going to jail as everyone believes he is no longer good.

They crash on the bridge, the money going over the side and into the river below, and Puss leaves Humpty to be arrested and jumps into the river, becoming an outlaw and ending the friendship between them. After Humpty, who had followed the two, explains to Puss that he wants a second chance, Puss agrees to help him find the beans/golden eggs, making it clear that he is doing it for the town and his mother who adopted him, not for Humpty. The three of them set off to find Jack and Jill, finally seeing them coming towards them, hiding in a canyon type place in the desert. Kitty jumps onto their cart which is pulled by warthogs, followed by Puss, while Humpty readies their getaway vehicle. Puss lowers Kitty into the back of the cart, who struggles to open the box the beans are held in (which is around Jack's hand), with Puss urging her to use her claws. She finally admits to him that she has no claws, which wakes up one of the baby pigs sleeping in the back.

Puss drops in beside her and opens the box with his claws as Kitty quiets the baby pig, giving him to Puss as she uses her paws to get the beans from Jack's hand, giving them to Puss. Just as they are about to leave, Puss accidentally backs up and steps on two pigs' tails, alerting Jack and Jill, who drop into the bottom where they are. They manage to get outside, jam the levers to force their seats to stay up, and tie up their heads, signaling Humpty to get their own cart beside the one they're on now. Kitty jumps onto the cart, but Jill headbutts Puss before he can, briefly knocking him out and causing him to drop the beans, which bounce around the top of the cart, almost falling off. Puss gets them back while fighting Jill, who somehow escaped, but she grabs him and dangles him over the edge of the cart and the canyon, about to drop him. Humpty rams the side of their cart and Puss lands back in their cart, and they get away. Kitty explains to Puss, as they are riding in the cart, that her adoptive owners got her claws removed for an unknown reason.

They make it to the perfect spot to plant them, being directed in the right way by Humpty, and plant the beans in a bare, sandy area, right as a storm cloud comes overhead, and a giant funnel of green-lit clouds and wind comes spinning down the place they planted the beans, cracking the sand, then suddenly disappearing, leaving only a small weed where the beans are buried. Kitty suggests Humpty talk to it, which he does, but barely gets a few words out before a giant beanstalk shoots up out of the ground, taking them with it, higher and higher into the clouds before it finally stops. The three got off and surprisingly are able to stand and walk on the clouds without difficulty, although their voices grow higher due to the thin air (their voices return to normal in the normal air pressure of the castle.) They see a castle type building and they enter it, not having to fear the giant, as Humpty says it's been dead for years; although, there is a beast in the castle, which if gazed upon, allegedly turns the gazer to stone. They cross the water far below and get to the island.

With only a small run-in with whatever the beast is, they find the golden eggs and a gosling that lays them. They take the gosling because the eggs are far too heavy and make it to the edge of the island before the rope they used to get across is broken, and they fall down into the canyon, the beast not far behind. As they are trying to get away, Kitty falls into the water, unable to pull herself back onto the branch due to her not having claws, but she is saved by Puss. They escape and get back down to the ground, cutting the beanstalk down and rejoicing over getting the golden goose. They briefly dance, and Humpty pulls Kitty aside to tell her to not lose focus, obviously talking about her falling in love with Puss. Kitty leaves to get rest, and Humpty and Puss lay outside with the goose. Puss tells Humpty he is glad to have his brother back, and Humpty goes to sleep with the goose lying on top of him. Meanwhile, Jack and Jill suddenly come up behind Puss and knock him out. When Puss awakens, he is lying in the desert surrounded by birds, which he shoos away.

He finds footprints and wagon tracks around him, and he follows them to the town he was adopted in. He sees a shadow of Humpty being held by Jack and Jill, and he follows them to save him, only to find them laughing and celebrating. Humpty explains to him how the only thing he wanted against Puss was revenge, and everyone had been working for him, even Jack and Jill. Puss doesn't fight against arrest (told not to by his adoptive mother) and sees Kitty as he is being led away in a carrier, knowing she has betrayed him. While in jail, he finds the Jack who had the beans first in the same cell, and he tells Puss that the beast is in fact the gosling's mother and will destroy the town trying to get her baby back. Puss escapes using his adorably big eyes to practically hypnotize the guard, and Kitty comes back to do the rest. She helps Puss escape, and he goes to find Humpty. Puss tells him that the mother is going to come back for her baby, and Humpty finally agrees to help save the town.

They lead the mother goose to the bridge, which breaks under her weight, and Puss has to hold onto a rope that Humpty is holding onto to be sure he doesn't fall into the wreckage. The gosling was also caught by a rope, but it is breaking, and Humpty lets go of his rope, so Puss can save the baby to make sure the mother does not destroy the whole town. He does save her, and later finds Humpty has been turned into a golden egg, which the mother takes and flies back to the castle. Puss and Kitty get away from the guards still, and Kitty says she will see him again soon, showing that she has taken his boots. During the first half of the credits, it shows Humpty once again in his regular egg form riding the goose in the clouds, and Puss and Kitty (while dancing) finally kiss. Cast Constance Marie as Imelda , Puss' surrogate adoptive mother who found him at the orphanage. Production Puss in Boots has been in development since 2004, when Shrek 2 was released.

As a Shrek 2 spin-off, it was originally planned for release in 2008 as a direct-to-video film, titled Puss in Boots: The Story of an Ogre Killer. In October 2006, the film was re-slated as a theatrical release due to market conditions, and due to DreamWorks Animation's realization that the Puss character deserved more. Puss in Boots was released in 3D. In late 2010, Guillermo del Toro signed on as executive producer. The promotional title of the film was Puss in Boots: Story of an Ogre Killer. Marketing The first teaser trailer was released on March 4, 2011 and was shown in front of Rango. This particular trailer features the song "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" by Pitbull. A full-length theatrical trailer was also shown in front of screenings of Kung Fu Panda 2 , Mr. Popper's Penguins, The Lion of Judah, Cars 2, Spy Kids 4: All the Time in the World, Winnie the Pooh, and The Smurfs.

Expanded franchise Sequel In November 2012, executive producer Guillermo del Toro said that they already did a couple of script drafts for a sequel, and that the director Chris Miller was to take Puss on an adventure to exotic places. In April 2014, Antonio Banderas, the voice of Puss, said that the work on the sequel had just begun. In June 2014, the movie was titled, Puss in Boots 2: Nine Lives & 40 Thieves and was scheduled be released on November 2, 2018. Two months later, it was moved back to December 21, 2018. In January 2015, Puss in Boots 2 was removed from the release schedule following corporate restructuring and DreamWorks Animation's new policy to release two films a year. Two months later, Banderas said in an interview that the script was under restructuring, and that Shrek may appear in the film. Animated series The film also spawned an animated series that premiered on Netflix on January 16, 2015.

Trivia Originally, Puss in Boots was going to be released in 2012, but when Shrek 5 was scrapped, they moved it forward to 2011. The film is hinted at the end of Shrek Forever After . When Shrek returns the Shrek book back to the bookcase, a Puss in Boots book is next to it. Puss in Boots is Antonio Banderas ' and Salma Hayek 's 6th film together (the other 5 were Desperado, Four Rooms {both 1995}, Frida {2002}, Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, and Once Upon A Time In Mexico {both 2003}). Shrek, Donkey , and Princess Fiona were once rumored to return. Shrek and Fiona were rumored to be voiced by John Di Maggio and Jennifer Aniston while Eddie Murphy would reprise his role. Obviously, this turned out to be false as the film is set way before Puss even met Shrek and the others. Plus, neither one of them were mentioned at all. Gallery
